You'd better give me a deadline, otherwise I'll just keep making new fleets rather than choosing any.

By before you go to sleep tonight? Ill be checking the message if you want any thoughts.

Really failing that time limit then haha

I have my fleets and they feel very strange

Let's try to get all fleets in by Friday.

Also, how do you want pairings to be? I'd like similar skill levels so it's even in the beginning and before fleets get crazy. You'll likely be playing against a single person for the first few rounds until someone decides to branch out and gang up on a single sector.

@Undeadguy

All the fleets in and good to move forward? What's the first step for us?

I think it would be good to decide already who we’ll start in the same system as so we can have it more balanced

I still need fleets from @MandalorianMoose.

I'm still not sure on who should start where. I could randomly assign if you guys want and feel the new format will make it more balanced.

@CaribbeanNinja @Visovics @rasproteus @GhostofNobodyInParticular

This is really up to you guys. I'm not sure on your skill levels, and I don't want someone to get rolled simply because of a skill gap.

Once that is figured out, I'll assign shipyards in the contested sectors, you'll let me know where you want a shipyard in a home sector, and we can start on round 1.

I've only played rasp once, IIRC, so I can't judge skill level. I have played Broba often, and though he generally beats me, I have been known to come out on top.

I am pretty sure I have lost to CNinja before, but I can't remember our skill comparison.

I don't feel comfortable assigning myself a relative skill level. My vote is random.

I think random may fit best, I'm not sure where I fit related to most there, all I can compare is that me and Broba have horrendous luck on dice, so it mostly comes out balanced sometimes

Errrmmm... so we proceeding with it or?...

I submitted my fleets yesterday, sorry for the delay all! Monster Hunter World came out yesterday and has been taking up all my free time

We are almost ready to start. Just need some small changes to fleets.

I'll be PMing you with your contested sector shipyard location.

For your reference, this is how I have the map set up.

@MandalorianMoose you ready to take a break from monster hunter to get beat in Armada?

Do you guys want sector exits to be hidden or revealed at the start of the game? Hidden means you need to go and find it before leaving a sector, which I like more.

And it might be good to have 2 exits so one person doesn't camp on one.

2 with hidden sounds good

Seconded or maybe one revealed to each player so we can reinforce our mates, but also can cut off enemy reinforcements with a little scouting legwork.

Alright, let's get started with Round 1.

Your fleets start at the shipyard in the contested sector. Send me your fleet movements and I'll enter them onto the map.

So each sector has 14 systems? If I want to move fleet 1 to the 4th system in the 1st sector, do I just say "Fleet 1 to 1:4" or something?

Yea you guys should PM me in the group chat though so I can reveal all fleet movements at the same time. You can just say you're moving a fleet to planet 1 in sector 1. Or however.

Where do we check the map to decide our movements?
